Bigger Things to Worry About

As I sit reading my Sunday paper, I am caught wondering "Doesnt our government have bigger issues to worry about than this?" I have read articles on a "New Smoking Ban" and "Congress voting on making pizza a vegetable".  We have people without jobs, food, or homes, but let's worry about where people smoke. Our government has got to put what is important to this country and the citizens in it first. I dont believe anyone is waking up wondering "If pizza is a vegetable or not?" Business owners should be the ones deciding if they want to have smoking in their business or not. It is their business. The public has the right to decide if they want to patronize that business.
 Our government has gotten out of control. The issues that are important are being over looked.
I know there are many people out of work collecting unemployment, and I also know many people who make more collecting their unemployment than the jobs out there are paying. How does this make sense? It doesnt. Why look for a job when you can get 99 weeks of unemployment? And our government is thinking about extending the 99 weeks. Why? Because there are no jobs, I beg to differ. It might not be the job you want or like or the pay you once had, but it is a job. I am sure I am pissing people off as they read, but truth hurts. Any job is better than NO job. Being a part of something is better than sitting on the side lines.
This country has got to get it's voice back. For the people by the people is a joke as of now, only we can change that. We have to demand important things like jobs, food,and housing be brought to the for front not in the background. Stop letting our government give themselves pay raises and tax breaks. They should have they same pay they would have had at their "private sector" jobs. Only get paid for the work they do. I never got paid for not doing my job have you?
We the people have gotten lazy! We have allowed government to do as they please. It is past the time for change. A change for good and uprising.  We can not longer sit by and just hope things will get better we HAVE to MAKE things better!
I could go on and on about how our system has failed but I wont. I have rambled enough........for now

AHHH Family

I love my family all 900 of them, ok that might be an exaggeration, but only by a few. Just because I love you doesnt mean I have to like or agree with you all the time. We will have our own thoughts and ideas. I may feel a certain way about a certain person doesnt mean you have to agree with me but its my feelings and thoughts and you should at the very least respect that. If you want to disagree with me that is fine, but DO NOT raise your voice at me nor tell me I am wrong. You cant tell me how I feel. My feelings are just that MINE. If you choose to talk to me about it that is fine, just make sure it is the proper place and time. There are somethings that are not meant for a group discussion. Not all family matters need to have the whole family involved. 
We are a hot headed, deep loving, opinionated, and loud, but most important we are FAMILY
